I noticed a minor bug in the latest beta (v4.37-2165) of HWiNFO64: In Application settings (right-clicking the icon in notification area and selecting "Settings") if you click on the tab "Driver Management" and then come back to the "General/User Interface" tab (even without changing anything) HWiNFO64 crashes (windows tells me it stopped working). This bug isn't a problem for me but I'm sure it's annoying for some users .

Apart for that HWiNFO is an excellent application, constantly updated and free too, what more could anyone want(?)

Thanks for your report.
I tried to reproduce this issue several times, but it works for me without any crash.
Have you noticed this in the latest build only? Are you running HWiNFO in Sensor-only mode?

Hi,

EDIT: It fixed itself when I installed the current non-beta version(v4.36-2150) to see if it was affected, I then overwrote that with affected beta version (v4.37-2165) and it didn't crash any more. I had previously updated from beta v4.37-2160 to beta v4.37-2165 this may have been the cause. Thanks for the fast reply, hope this helps someone.

It's doesn't do that in the current non-beta version (v4.36-2150), I never tried it on the previous beta version (and don't have the files to reinstall it and check). I am running HWiNFO in sensor only mode, and have have set it to "minimize sensors on startup" and "minimize main window on startup".

I'm no expert but I would say no it's not related to tooltips dialog, as I just opened "settings", clicked on "driver management", without moving the mouse I glanced down to see if it said installed and then clicked back to "general/user interface". I didn't hover over anything that would have had a dialog popup as my mouse travelled along the other tab headings. Also this was done quickly so there won't have been enough time for anything to popup even if I had hovered over a setting. I didn't try any other tabs at the time so I don't know if they do the same thing. Since the "fix" its only crashed twice out of about 20-30 attempts (I wasn't counting). And now I can't even reproduce it.

Thanks, but a DBG file won't help here.
Do you it crashes when you hover the mouse over a checkbox/text which would normally display a tooltip ?
If possible, please try to perform more test to determine when it crashes and when it doesn't...

tab is have 2 rectangle, little one (for name header) and bigger one (for objects).
if i move the mouse inside to bigger rectangle then crash. Hope this help

Thanks.
So it doesn't matter if your mouse reaches a text item, but just when it reaches the main rectangle ?
Also, does it happen if you move from any other tab to the first one (General / User Interface) only ?

Thanks for the additional tests.
Please try this build: http://www.hwinfo.com/beta/hw64_437_2166.zip and let me know if it maybe fixes it.
If it still crashes, please attach a screenshot of the crash message with details.
